American Football (NFL)

How can NFL playoff officiating be so bad? They don't even know the rules. They just ruled a play where Demeryius Thomas didn't complete a catch going to the ground as a fumble. There is literally no way that that could have been construed as a fumble by the letter of the NFL rulebook, and they had an opportunity to review it and STILL got it wrong.

This postseason is fraught with inept officiating and there's simply no excuse for it.

As a resident of Houston, I'm offended by the "Hilly Billies" logo.  There are no hills here and I won't stand for such blatant disregard for the truth.

Never quite understood this either, as the original definition was a Michigan potato farmer. It was actually slang used to describe the Irish that settled in the upper peninsula, potato farmers.  Someone picks it up once to describe a Alabama hick (which would be closer to accurate) and voila, everyone that's a touch too backwoods for the urbanites is instantly one.

So as a lifetime Seahawk fan and Seattlite, please let me explain the significance:

Our last championship was 1979 (before I was born), and that trophy currently resides in Oklahoma as part of "Thunder History". This is the lone championship truly for the city of Seattle. We earned it. So many tough years as an afterthought. At one point, we were even voted the second worst sports city in America (in terms of sports success). Yet we still supported our teams and EARNED our reputation as the toughest place to play in the nation.

We beat the second best team in the NFL in San Francisco. And the third best team in New Orleans. Denver was the victory lap. "Bout dat action, boss." Go Hawks!

Should be the second Super Bowl, the NFL jobbed the hawks against the steelers a few years ago. Enjoy!

Hawks damn near gave me four heart attacks. So proud of this team's resiliency. I will be in Glendale. Still debating whether I will spend $2k on the ticket.
